I can't believe this worked. It was a test and it worked! I decided I was going to try and create my own flower hair comb using true touch flowers from Hobby Lobby (which were 50% off last week and probably will be again soon). Their white was way to white and their "cream" was more like a pale yellow. I wanted more of a champagne color. 15 minutes soaking in fresh brewed brew and voila! The photo with two flowers side by side are the fake true-touch flowers, one white and one after the staining. The single flower is the real rose which was my inspiration. They're still a little more yellow, but it's much better than what they had in the store. Maybe a little more soak time would brown it up a bit too, but I don't want to go overboard. Also some of the glue melted in the hot coffee, but it's still full intact and an easy fix if I needed. I think it's a successful DIY for $3 a flower!
